Harding of Bristol
Harding of Bristol or Harding Fitz Eadnoth[1] (c. 1048 – c. 1125) was sheriff (reeve) of Bristol, with responsibility for managing a manorial estate and perhaps similar duties to those of a magistrate.[2][3] He was the son of Eadnoth the Constable, an Anglo-Saxon thane who served as steward to Edward the Confessor and Harold II.[4] He was the father of Robert Fitzharding who became lord of Berkeley, Gloucestershire.[2]
His wife Livida supposedly died at the manor of Whetonhurst, Blacklow Hundred, Gloucestershire, England in 1101.
